What is passive surveillance?

• routine reporting data w/ notifiable diseases

• monitoring the presence or absence of specific diseases

• selected institutions/groups both contribute to data and other info that could be a risk to public health

What is sentinel surveillance?

• routine reporting data w/ notifiable diseases

• monitoring the presence or absence of specific diseases

• selected institutions/groups both contribute to data and other info that could be a risk to public health

What is primary prevention?

• Reduce the number or impact of complications and improve the quality of life

• Interventions that attempt to prevent the disease from occurring.

• Reduce the impact by screening (e.g), reducing severity or preventing reoccurence

What is secondary prevention?

• Reduce the number or impact of complications and improve the quality of life

• Interventions that attempt to prevent the disease from occurring.

• Reduce the impact by screening (e.g), reducing severity or preventing reoccurence

What is tertiary prevention?

• Reduce the number or impact of complications and improve the quality of life

• Interventions that attempt to prevent the disease from occurring.

• Reduce the impact by screening (e.g), reducing severity or preventing reoccurence

What is high risk prevention?

• identifying at risk individuals and providing protection or reducing a factor (e.g blood pressure)

• reduce health risks in whole population

What is population prevention?

• identifying at risk individuals and providing protection or reducing a factor (e.g blood pressure)

• reduce health risks in whole population

What are the ADVANTAGES of high risk individuals prevention?

• appropriate individual + clinician motivation, favorable benefit risk ratio

• radial, large potential, establishing norms

• need to identify, may be against pop norms, have to sustain behaviour

• small benefit to individuals, poor motiviation, benefit-risk may be low.

What are the DISADVANTAGES of high risk individuals prevention?

• appropriate individual + clinician motivation, favorable benefit risk ratio

• radial, large potential, establishing norms

• need to identify, may be against pop norms, have to sustain behaviour

• small benefit to individuals, poor motiviation, benefit-risk may be low.
